Maloney Mansfield, the inspector of Iron Tree Fort, is the first powerful person in this world that David knows.
However, when he wanted to upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town, after Maloney avoided him, David thought the two would never meet again, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon.
Compared with the last time he came to Winter Town, Maloney's feeling when he came to Winter Town this time was as high as the heavens and the center of the earth.
Especially when he saw the spectacular, beautiful, and clean town in front of him, he had the same suspicion as Raines: Am I going the wrong way?
If the soldiers from Winter Town leading the way had not repeatedly stated that they were not on the wrong path, Maloney would not have been able to believe that the beautiful town in front of him was that small village with only a few shabby wooden houses.
"His Majesty the King is really willing to spend money!"
It only took one year to build a village with only a few wooden houses into this state. The only reasonable explanation that Maloney could think of was that His Majesty King Abelson of the Kingdom of Tiland gave Winter Town and the Baron of Glamorgan
Huge support.
He seriously doubted that there were a large number of Guards Knights of the Tilan Kingdom stationed in Winter Town. If any blind guy dared to attack Winter Town, these Guards Knights would make it impossible for those guys to come back! p>
"Is that so-called pink flying dragon also sent by His Majesty the King?"
Thinking of this, Maloney thought of the instructions he had received. He suddenly felt that the Barnett family was very prescient, and there was no benefit at all in being at odds with Winter Town and its lord, Baron Glamorgan.
It is better to make a good friendship, which is more in the interests of the family! Especially at this moment when everyone realizes that the northern plains are not peaceful.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Lord Inspector Maloney Mansfield." Under the leadership of the soldiers, Maloney came to Fort Glamorgan.
After being inspected by the bodyguard knight named Floyd, he was led into Glamorgan Castle and walked into the office of the Lord Baron Glamorgan.
The last time he saw David, he was just a young village chief. Now he has become a big shot that he cannot look directly at.
"You are too kind, Lord Baron Glamorgan. On behalf of the Mansfield family and the Barnet family, I send you my sincere greetings."
Maloney perfectly demonstrated the etiquette that nobles should have, and his performance made Elias standing next to him show a satisfied expression.
Knowing that this was the etiquette officer from the royal capital, Maloney secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party did not embarrass him, and then looked at Baron David Glamorgan in front of him.
"The Barnett family?" At this time, David was still surprised by Maloney's greeting, which meant that the Mansfield family was not surprised. What is the situation with the Barnett family?
"Yes." Maloney immediately explained to David that she was actually entrusted by the Barnett family to come to Winter Town from Iron Tree Castle: "The Barnett family expresses all the actions of Iron Shui Village.
These are all the personal actions of the village chief of Amamandis, and they were definitely not ordered by the Barnett family to offend Winter Town and the Baron."
"Oh!"
It turns out that Maloney Mansfield is here to make peace with the Barnet family, but the Barnet family is not just looking for someone at random, hoping that they can resolve their grudges with Baron Glamorgan through a few words of friendship.
In addition to throwing all the blame to Amamaantis, the Barnett family was also very polite and asked Maloney Mansfield to send the "ransom" and "compensation" that David deserved.
.
"Ransom?"
"Yes!" Maloney said: "To thank Lord Baron Glamorgan for his kindness."
David could have taken everyone in Iron Water Village as prisoners, and the soldiers loyal to the Barnett family, as well as the contracted farmers who signed the contract, could all be used as bargaining chips to demand ransom from the Barnett family.<
/p>
However, David did not keep any prisoners, but released these people directly.
In order to "repair their relationship" with Baron David Glamorgan, the Barnett family simply put this film together
The ransom was paid.
In addition, there are also compensations and casualty pensions paid for the "loss" caused by Amamadis' attack on Winter Town.
"..."
Is there any loss to Winter Town?
Some 30mm cannon bullets and several ground-attack missiles were fired by Arcee, a Transformer. As long as it took some time, her body would regenerate the ammunition, which meant that for Winter Town, it was just
Lost some energy.
As for the wounded pension, the soldier who was slightly injured by the stones thrown by his own fire seemed to have received an unexpected windfall.
"Since it is compensation from the Barnett family, I will accept it without mercy!" David accepted all the money without any pretense that he didn't need it.
Anyway, Barnett was just "repairing the relationship" with himself, not asking him to do anything. What was their original relationship? It was just a relationship where they didn't know each other!
Of course, they can barely be considered acquaintances now, but they are definitely not friends. If conflicts break out again in the future, it is impossible for David to hesitate just because he has received some money.
After chatting casually with Maloney for a few more words, David could feel that Maloney was very restrained when facing him now, unable to let go at all, and was also very cautious when answering questions.
This resulted in David being unable to ask him for any useful information, but he could barely confirm a few things:
Iron Tree Fort attaches great importance to the situation on the northern plains, so it sends a large number of elites. In addition to ensuring that the newly established northern town of Snowfield Fort will not be destroyed in the hands of the orcs, it also wants to completely clean up those orcs after the weather improves next year.
Out of the northern plains.
The Iron Tree Fort is very confident in this. They don't think the group of orcs have anything to fear, just like they did when they faced the elves when they came to settle in the Iron Tree Forest.
Dishonest? Looking for trouble? Beat you until you are honest!
The elves in the iron tree forest watch helplessly as humans continue to cut down the iron trees, and their living areas continue to shrink but they never do anything. Is it because they love peace and are unwilling to use force with humans?
No, it’s because the elves can’t defeat the humans in Iron Tree Fort!
According to what David heard from childhood, and later received from Floyd, Gareth Stanton, Addis and others, the standing military force of Iron Tree Fort includes at least: the Iron Tree Knights composed of two hundred knights and cavalry.
Three hundred strong archers and one thousand fully equipped elite infantry.
In addition, there are spellcasters such as mages and alchemists, militiamen who have received military training, as well as knights and soldiers of various nobles, which cannot be counted.
As an important town in the northern part of the Tilan Kingdom, Iron Tree Fort has amazing military strength. Therefore, in the eyes of the top brass of Iron Tree Fort, the destruction of the orcs is only a matter of time.
However, the war will break out next, as well as the increasing complexity of the forces on the northern plains, and the land's barrenness exceeding expectations, making this land less attractive to the nobles.
That's why the Barnett family took the initiative to show their kindness. The Mansfield family, who had previously shut themselves up and didn't want to see David, sent Maloney to Winter Town to wait for something to happen.
After letting Freud take Maloney to stay at the Winter Hotel run by Jonah, David sat in the office and thought slowly.
Helen, who had completely mastered Brennian Common Language in just one night through the props provided by Medivh, made and poured a cup of hot tea for David next to her...
Helen learned through Laura that David usually likes to drink tea and juice. He likes to drink juice with meals and drinks tea at ordinary times.
At the same time, she also heard that the climate here in Winter Town is not very suitable for growing tea. The tea leaves in Winter Town are currently brought here by Laura.
After Helen heard about it, she planned to return to Sparta to try to grow tea. If she could succeed, Winter Town would be able to obtain tea steadily.
Just when Helen wanted to ask David how many servants were needed in this castle, Leon and Arcee suddenly came.
"Is the matter resolved?" David thought after seeing these two people
It seems that Lyon is causing harm to small Spanish villages.
"Yes, thanks to Arcee, it was solved easily." Leon originally thought that this job would be very troublesome, after all, the opponent was a weird parasite that he didn't understand at all.
As a result, the process went surprisingly smoothly, and with Arcee's help, the Illuminati Sect and the village occupied by the parasites were completely destroyed by him.
At this time, he remembered what Clausa had said to him: the mysterious knowledge he learned from Winter Town would help him better deal with all kinds of strange events!
At that time, Leon was thinking, "How can there be so many weird incidents?" He just felt that he had become stronger and could better deal with zombies and other biological weapons.
I didn’t expect Krausa to be right so quickly! My own world seems to be no more peaceful than the Marvel Universe or Transformers Universe!
Leon, who gradually discovered the truth about the world, felt that he should be more dedicated and diligent in learning mysterious knowledge, and at the same time, he also wanted to say thank you to David for providing him with all this.
So after sending Ashley back to the mainland safely, he and Arcee came to find David and made a special trip to say thank you.
Arcee came back so late mainly to help Leon see off people.
As for helping Leon fight parasites, biochemical monsters, etc., she didn't care too much. Compared with the Decepticons, the combat power of these creatures was simply too fragile to be mentioned.
After accepting Leon's thanks calmly, David hoped that Arcee would focus on Snowfield Castle in the next period of time, and it would be best to record the scene of the battle between Snowfield Castle and the orcs.
"Aren't you going to continue paying attention to the surrounding villages?"
